it's 2a.m.
and i'm lyin' in bed
thinkin' about the life i've led
what i've said
and done
to be the one
here lyin' in bed
with this life i've led

thinkin' 'bout
the shoulda's & coulda's
the woulda's & ought's
makes me want to shout
about's what i bought's

takin' this road
or that
carryin' a load
on a road so flat
or goin' uphill
doin' as i will
or as i did
tryin' ta' hid or hide
never seein' the other side


thick or thin
or wide
havin' my share of sin
always rollin' with the tide
never thinkin' 'bout where i been
'till then

watchin' life walk out the door
never sure
of what's to come
alway's feelin' i'm on the run
ain't no fun
what a bore

when it's 2 a.m.
when i face myself
amen
i been top shelf
always full of my self
'till i'm here all alone
and i feel the life that i've blown
away
what can i say

'ceptin' it's 2 a.m.,
and i'll be damn
i've lived the life i've lived
given what i've gived
takin' what i've takin'
been shook when i've been shakin'
been awakin'
at 2 a.m.
to remember
my should's & my ought's
to face the facts
of my acts
and what i bought's

but it be a new day
so i just go my way
live the life that i pay
for everyday

so at 2 a.m.
i just say amen
come on God,
hit me agin'
let me know tomorrow agin'
when it's 2 a.m.
